# How do I create a post in News?

### Create a post

From the app **News**, click the post creation button.

#### Form fields

* **Title** (required, 60 characters max)
* **Description** (optional, rich text editor)
* **Section(s)** : select one or more sections to publish in
* **Media** : attach images, videos, GIFs, or PDF files
* **Poll** (optional): add a poll with multiple or single choice, anonymous or not
* **Event** (optional): associate an event date
* **Link preview** (optional): paste a URL to display an automatic preview

#### Post options

* **Publish immediately** : the post is visible as soon as it is validated
* **Schedule** : choose a future publication date and time
* **Likes** : enable or disable the ability to like (enabled by default)
* **Comments** : enable or disable comments (enabled by default)
* **Read receipt** : ask readers to confirm that they have read the post. See the article "How do I request a read receipt?".

#### Generate content with the AI assistant

While writing, the AI assistant can generate content for the post. Three modes are available:

* **Generate text** : produce a title and description from an entered idea
* **Generate an image** : produce a cover image from a description, or directly **From the post** (the title and description already entered are then used as the basis)
* **Generate both** : produce the text and then an image consistent with that content

The result is displayed in preview: it can be regenerated, then inserted into the form. Image generation is subject to a daily limit.

#### Media constraints

| Type      | Max size | Accepted formats                                                      |
| --------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Images    | 10 MB    | GIF, HEIC, HEIF, JPEG, PNG, WebP                                      |
| Videos    | No limit | AVI, MP4, MPEG, QuickTime, WebM, FLV, M4V, Matroska, WMV              |
| Documents | 75 MB    | PDF (and other formats depending on the organization's configuration) |

It is possible to attach multiple images (album), but videos cannot be combined with other file types.

### Pin a post

After creation, a post can be **pinned** at the top of a section with a pin expiration date. Only administrators and communicators can pin posts.

### Share a draft

A draft can be shared with other users so they can finish it and publish it under their own name. See the article "How do I use shared drafts?".

### What the assistant can do

With the scope **News**, the assistant can create, edit, and manage posts and drafts.
